Bodybuilder, Phil Clahar wins the 2023 Orlando Pro Championships!
The 2023 Orlando Pro Championships took place on Friday, July 1st 2023 with the Men’s Open winner earning a spot in the 2023 Olympia. The men’s open show took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida and it was Phil Clahar who won the title to qualify for the Mr. Olympia.
The Olympia qualification system has changed this year. If an athlete did not finish in the top three in the previous year, or top five in Men’s Open, they will have to win a show to qualify. The points qualification system is no more. Also, former winners of an Olympia title have lifetime eligibility.
Hassan Mostafa returned to the Orlando Pro in hopes of defending his title from 2022. He has continued to make improvements to his physique in order to become a force in Men’s Open. From the early moments, it was clear that the show would be a battle between Mostafa and Clahar.
It will be Clahar heading to the Olympia. In 2021, he finished as the runner-up during the 2021 Tampa Pro before coming in third at the 2021 Texas Pro.
The full results from the show have been announced. Below, check out the full breakdown, along with an official scorecard.
